Chapter 1571: Ancient Mystery; The Void Gate Appears Before All Cultivators

The Karma Seal uses Wang Lin's open palm to become the Cause of Heaven and Earth, and his clenching fist to become the Effect that destroys the world. The process of clenching the hand is the Affinity! Using the external force of this Affinity, it transforms into a single Karma Seal.

Although Wang Lin had only just realized this Seal, its power was extremely astonishing.

In this world, no one understood Karma better than him. That profound thought, those seventy-plus years of Dream Dao, those two thousand-plus years of contemplation, coupled with various fortunes, allowed Wang Lin, on this day, at this moment, upon the instant of his awakening and the Major Achievement of his Karma, to comprehend this earth-shattering fourth Divine Ability.

Once this Seal appeared, it was enough to send a person into the Karma Reincarnation cycle. Unlike the Dream Dao, which slowly changes things in dreams like rain nourishing objects, this Seal used an extremely domineering method to self-determine Karma!

This type of Divine Ability, it was a Daoist Magic!

Wang Lin looked at his right hand. Amidst the opening and clenching of his palm, the vast Qi, like that of a Great Confucian Scholar, spread from his body. This aura could frighten away ghosts and gods, and with a single glance, it could make a Third Step void nirvana Cultivator retreat in terror.

Because Wang Lin, who possessed this aura, had comprehended the principles of Heaven and Earth—he was Heaven and Earth!

Raising his right hand, Wang Lin waved it in front of him, a strange light shining in his eyes. He gathered the Origin power of Karma in that wave, transforming it into the Karma Seal before him.

This Seal was not only Wang Lin's self-created fourth Divine Ability, but also the symbol of the Major Achievement of Wang Lin's Karma Origin.

This Karma Seal intertwined with the Origin of Thunder and the Origin of Fire, surrounding him. From afar, they formed circle after circular ring, and the aura of a Third Step Mighty Figure multiplied several times over at this moment.

With three Origins achieving Major Achievement, even if a void nirvana Great Perfection Cultivator were present, they would be unable to withstand Wang Lin's full-power strike! Origins are difficult to achieve, but once achieved, their power is Astonishingly Immortal!

The moment these three Origins materialized, dull rumbling sounds immediately echoed within the vast Void, as if they were being transmitted from far beyond the Void.

Outside the Vermilion Bird Star in the Kunxu Star Domain, tens of thousands of Cultivators currently spread out, forming a tight, circular blockade that completely surrounded the Vermilion Bird Star.

These tens of thousands of Cultivators all came from the Outer Realm. Each of them had a mark between their eyebrows, and their expressions were filled with cruelty and murderous intent, along with spreading excitement.

The force they surrounded was the last remaining power of the Inner Realm in the Kunxu Star Domain, led by Nanyunzi, fighting to the death outside the Vermilion Bird Star.

Nanyunzi originally didn't want to stay here, but the Cultivators of the Kunxu Star Domain were already exhausted after decades of fierce fighting, having become as frenzied as those with bloodshot eyes. They refused to evacuate, unwilling to leave Kunxu and go to Luotian.

In fact, they thought, even if they went to Luotian, what good would it do!

When the Outer Realm Great Army eventually broke in, where else could they retreat to?

If they were going to die, then they would die in their homeland. If they were going to fight to the death, then they would fight to the death in the homeland of the Honored Sovereign, the Vermilion Bird Star!

The statue of the Honored Sovereign on the Vermilion Bird Star stood tall like a mountain, causing the besieged Kunxu Cultivators to laugh tragically and forget death!

Situ Nan was also here. He should have been on the road to Luotian with Qing Lin, but he resolutely rushed back. This was the Vermilion Bird Star, the homeland of his brother, the place where Wang Lin disappeared and died. Situ Nan was unwilling to leave alone.

"What harm is there in death!" Situ Nan laughed loudly, his gray hair fluttering. Wearing a large purple robe, he rushed into the Outer Realm Cultivators with a wave of his hand. Over the years, thanks to Qing Lin's careful guidance, coupled with Situ Nan's own astonishing talent, he had long ago—thirty years prior—broken open the Void Gate with Qing Lin's help and become a Third Step Mighty Figure!

Staying here with Situ Nan were also Thirteen, Big Head, and others. Although their cultivation was insufficient, they had rapidly grown during these numerous battles. Although they were currently covered in injuries, their murderous intent was monstrous.

Among them were also Longpanzi and Lufuzi.

After Longpanzi awakened, the fellow Daoists he encountered had a profound impression of Wang Lin, and he also knew that the other party was the Honored Sovereign. He knew that the Vermilion Bird Star was Wang Lin's homeland and that Wang Lin had disappeared here.

He could have chosen not to come, but Longpanzi still came. He did not bring his Disciple Xuanzhong, but came alone. With his cultivation comparable to the power of empty profound, he waved the Mountain River Map outside the Vermilion Bird Star, shrouding the entire Vermilion Bird Star, preventing it from being instantly shattered by the Outer Realm Cultivators.

Lufuzi also did not retreat back to Luotian. Even though he was the Old Ancestor of the Luotian Cultivators, over these decades, he had witnessed countless instances of life and death, seeing too much. Wang Lin, in particular, had deeply moved him. In silence, he never left Kunxu, choosing instead to fight a hearty battle here!

"This Old Man seeks death in battle…" Madness appeared in Lufuzi's eyes.

There was one more person, someone Wang Lin was familiar with: he was the Azure Dragon Holy Emperor! He had not died, but appeared decades ago leading the Four Saints Sect, becoming a force within Kunxu.

Now, he was leading the many Elders of the Four Saints Sect to fight the Outer Realm to the death on the Vermilion Bird Star.

During the great battle before the Inner Realm and Outer Realm conflict, the Azure Dragon Holy Emperor, along with the Four Saints Sect, seemed to have disappeared, only suddenly reappearing decades ago. But as soon as he appeared, he immediately launched a life-and-death struggle against the Outer Realm.

His cultivation was already extremely high back then. Over the years, although he had not yet reached the Third Step, he had reached the Peak of the fifth heavenly decay.

Including everyone, the Kunxu Cultivators surrounded by the tens of thousands of Outer Realm Great Army were fewer than eight thousand. Yet, it was precisely these eight thousand people who persisted for several months outside the Vermilion Bird Star!

In this Starry Sky, the roaring was incessant. Outside the Vermilion Bird Star, there was a bloody aura. Surrounded by the tens of thousands of Outer Realm Great Army, they closed in step by step. Among them, there were only three Third Step Mighty Figures.

One of them was a man in blue robes. This man had a cold expression, and his attacks involved countless amounts of Cold Ice. If Wang Lin were here again, he would recognize him instantly: this person was one of those who appeared during the Great Life and Death Tribulation!

Another person was surprisingly Zhou Jin of the Fengtian Wolf Clan. After Wang Lin disappeared, this person secretly betrayed him. At this moment, he was leading his Fengtian Wolf Clan, stirring up a bloody storm in the Inner Realm, seemingly wanting to erase the shame of having been Wang Lin's slave years ago.

Of the two, Zhou Jin had the weakest cultivation. He and Lufuzi fought roaringly in the Starry Sky to the left of the Vermilion Bird Star. Around them, countless Divine Abilities collapsed. Looking from afar, one could see a massive Blood Wolf roaring, trying to devour Lufuzi, but ultimately failing.

The man in blue robes with the cold expression, who comprehended the Origin of Ice, had extremely high cultivation. He had come with his True Body, and his cultivation was at the empty profound Early Stage. He alone enveloped Longpanzi and Situ Nan, causing both of them to steadily retreat.

This battle was the final battle of the Kunxu Star Domain. The entirety of Kunxu had already fallen, leaving only this one place, only the Vermilion Bird Star!

At this moment, the war was also drawing to a close. Under the pressure and Divine Abilities of the tens of thousands of Outer Realm Cultivators, the thousands of Inner Realm Cultivators continuously retreated, despair showing in their expressions.

"Honored Sovereign's Glory! Kunxu's Glory!!" A middle-aged Cultivator, after having his body pierced by Flying Swords, roared out amidst a tragic laugh. His body suddenly chose to Self-destruct, engulfing two Outer Realm Cultivators and dying together with them.

"Honored Sovereign's Glory! Kunxu's Glory!!" More people, in this despair, shouted the same words. The voices rose and fell, merging into one continuous sound, seemingly becoming the final cries of life.

"The Honored Sovereign was killed by us back then! How can a dead person have glory!" The cold-faced man in blue robes waved his hand, and Cold Ice roared, sealing the thousand zhang ahead with cracking sounds. Longpanzi and Situ Nan quickly dodged.

Hearing the two words "Honored Sovereign," humiliation flashed in Zhou Jin's eyes. A cold light flashed, and his attacks became even more murderous.

The tens of thousands of Outer Realm Cultivators around them roared in unison, carrying a monstrous fierce flame, continuously closing in.

Just then, suddenly above this battlefield of slaughter, within the endless stars, a roar that seemed to have existed for eons came from afar. The roar was initially distant, but in an instant, it seemed to resonate within everyone's minds.

This sound revealed an ancient vicissitude, and even more, an astonishing aura that caused everyone here to change expression.

They saw a massive, illusory gate that almost occupied the Starry Sky appear in this region of space amidst the roar. The size of this gate was indescribable; Cultivators were like ants before it!

"The Great Gate of the Void!!"

"This… This is the Void Gate!!"

Situ Nan, who was retreating, changed drastically in expression, rapidly backing away, shock showing in his eyes.

"Could it be that one of these Outer Realm Cultivators has achieved Origin Major Achievement at this moment? This… this…"

Longpanzi's pupils also contracted, and worry appeared in his eyes.

And Lufuzi, similarly stunned, quickly retreated. Looking at the immensely massive Void Gate, despair filled his eyes.

"Is it really so easy for Outer Realm Cultivators to step into the Third Step, achieving Origin Major Achievement right here on the battlefield…"

Equally shocked was Zhou Jin. His entire expression changed drastically. Looking at the Void Gate, a faint sense of familiarity almost made his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

"This… this aura… this is…" He was Wang Lin's slave, carrying Wang Lin's mark, and thus he was infinitely more sensitive to this aura than anyone else here.

The young man in blue robes also narrowed his eyes the instant the Great Gate of the Void appeared, a cold light flashing.

"I want to see which of these thousands of Inner Realm Cultivators has achieved Origin Major Achievement at this moment. I will make him Perish and Die immediately after becoming a Third Step Mighty Figure!"

Since even these Third Step Mighty Figures reacted this way, there was no need to mention the ordinary Cultivators around them. Whether they were Outer Realm or Inner Realm Cultivators, they all stared dumbfounded at the Great Gate of the Void that suddenly appeared in the Starry Sky.

They couldn't imagine that someone could actually trigger the descent of the Void Gate at this time. Any descent of the Void Gate, whether in the Inner Realm or the Outer Realm, was like a Grand Ceremony, signifying that someone might become a Third Step Mighty Figure.
